Expert Tip. When in Eisenach, it would be churlish not to visit the Bachaus. A 600-year-old- house, when it first opened as a museum in 1907, it was thought that Bach was born here. This now seems less certain, but he was definitely born in Eisenach and baptised at this house two days later. There's a collection of material on the life and work of Bach and his family as well as a collection of historic musical instruments.
